"Concurrency != parallelism" is an important distinction in this context. The base C++ coroutines feature is not about threads or parallel processing, but rather is a generalization of the concept of "subroutine" with respect to control flow and stack usage. An example using coroutines to service many tasks (if not otherwise involving threading features) is not much different (at the level of what the CPU sees) from a single threaded implementation using a loop or continuation passing to process concurrent tasks. Performance should be identical between both the language-supported coroutines code and the manually implemented single threaded loop if the work is batched the same.

I would tend to agree with your open assertion that Concurrency != Parallelism. However, I'm not sure that it is really germane in this situation. I am aware that library in question here uses C++ coroutines for 'task encapsulation' according to the developer; however, this library is being compared directly to TBB and OpenMP which are two of the 'go-to' implementations for parallel computation. So I don't think the focus on parallelism in this comment chain is in any way inaccurate or misapplied.
